Think being a full-time professional artist means standing at your easel all day? Think again. In this episode of The Three Artmigos, hosts Ed Swarez, Adrian Webb, and Paula Telizyn pull back the curtain on what it really takes to run a successful art business in 2026. We are taking you behind the scenes of Swarez Modern Art to break down the reality of the working artist's schedule—and why Ed spends only about 30% of his time actually putting paint to canvas.

If you are an artist entrepreneur trying to make a living from your creative work, this episode is a reality check and a roadmap. We dive into the often-hidden 70% of the job that actually sells the art: the marketing, logistics, client relations, digital strategy, and daily operations that keep a modern studio profitable and thriving.

• The 70/30 Split: Why maximizing your studio time might actually be hurting your art sales.

• Behind the Scenes of Swarez Modern Art: A transparent look at the daily operations, admin, and heavy lifting required to run a globally recognized art brand.
